Item description from seller

Oblong. Softcover. Orange bw illustrated wraps. 90 pp., Catalogue illustrated and lists 62 photographs and 23 collages by this artist. Wonderful book - the works has a Surrealist bent to it, especially the collages. Franz Roh, a German art historian, critic and photographer who not only defined the European avant-garde between the wars, but who—as both critic and artist—influenced the collective trends seen in much photo-based work today. Ubu Gallery’s exhibition presents works largely from the 1930s, most of which are on view for the first time, and illuminates the possibilities of expression Roh coaxed from the photographic mechanism, particularly the negative print and the photomontage. Ranging from motifs of the female nude to the urban landscape to Surrealist-inflected collage, the works in Ubu’s exhibition attest to both Roh’s theoretical engagement with photography, as well as his singular take on a number of the experimental techniques which would define much of the "New Vision" in photography. VG. Light rubbing and wear around edges, otherwise clean and unmarked.…

Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.…
